Recording new Auto Attendant greeting

Note: Not all extensions are set to be able to record these greetings.  By default extension 400 will be allowed to record the greeting.

Dial ‘## 8000’ press Send/Dial (if menu 8000 is the one you want to record) to be connected to the automated system.  You will have 3 choices:

Press 1 to record a new greeting
Press 2 to exit the system
Press 9 to restore the original recording (hidden option)

If you press 1 the system will let you record a new greeting, listen to the new recording and accept the recording.  You must accept the greeting to save it and overwrite the current greeting.

If you press 2 the system will thank you and hang up.

If you press 9 the original/generic greeting will be the new greeting.

Note:  The default menus are 8000 for day menu and 8001 for night menu.  Night menu plays before 9am and after 5pm in your local time by default.  Please contact us to change when needed.

Mobile phone backup

This feature is a service that can be implemented when users need a backup strategy if the phones in the office go offline or otherwise fail. This will cause all calls that are directed to a phone that is no longer registered on the system and a pre-determined mobile or other phone number will be called to cover for the disconnected phone.
